Kevin Saunders – School Tours
Kevin Saunders’ works as a motivational coach, inspirational speaker and inspirational athlete and has done many school tours across America sponsored by Fortune 100 or 500 companies. His focus is on staying in school and overcoming adversity that may stand in the way of a student’s education. Kevin shows students the importance of an education and dramatically illustrates the real world benefits of staying in school and living a lifetime of learning. Because as Kevin says; “Without an education you’ll be operating with a real handicap.”
In the video portion of the website you will find a few of Kevin’s television commercials encouraging kids to stay in school on behalf of corporate sponsors.
Kevin Saunders has spoken to thousands of schools and spent a lot of time promoting education where drop out rates are at their highest. Through Kevin’s school presentations, TV, radio and newspaper commercials and articles Kevin has inspired many students to stay in school and finish their education when they were literally on the brink of giving up.
Kevin’s latest book, Blueprint for Success tells of the positive impact Kevin has had on students’ lives.
One of those Fortune 500 company education sponsors was Central Power and Light Company during the 1990’s.
“We were very pleased with Kevin’s performance during the time that he conducted his tour of schools in South Texas. The objective of this effort was to motivate school children to get an education, and work hard to achieve their goals using the theme, “Live Your Dreams”. Kevin did a fantastic job encouraging kids to stay in school and get the education that will help them be successful for the rest of their lives.
Kevin traveled to hundreds of schools throughout South Texas delivering these messages on behalf of CPL for a two-year period. The children responded enthusiastically and I believe he was truly effective in motivating the youth in a positive direction with tremendous passion for this mission. He even did TV, radio, newspaper and appeared in some television commercials, radio and newspaper ads for CPL promoting education. As Kevin says, “Without an education, you will be operating with a real handicap. So come join me in school and let’s go for the gold together!”
Kevin is a true inspiration, a hard worker and dedicated to his mission. When he says he’s going to do something, you can count on him accomplishing his goal. Kevin should certainly be at the top of any list when the need is for someone who is motivational and inspiring to encourage our kids to get an education first and live their dreams.” – Sharon L. Trott, Manager Corporate Communications CP&L, Central Power and Light - Corporate Sponsor
Kevin says in his presentation to school students “Education was, and continues to be, a major force in my life. Education is so important to me because it is the foundation for all my accomplishments. Going to school showed me what courage, strength and perseverance really meant. I was amazed at how my mind responded to my workouts after my accident. Sharpening my mind through education helped me overcome tremendous adversity to become “the world’s greatest all-around wheelchair athlete.” I continue to use the self-confidence gained from excelling in school in all my endeavors. It is my desire to help all people excel in life’s endeavors and education is the cornerstone of that goal. I want young people to gain confidence and opportunity from getting an education and help bring out the limitless possibilities for success in their lives after they leave school.
On most days in the more highly populated areas Kevin Saunders averages 2 to 4 schools per day with a 45 minute presentation followed by an autograph session. For added marketing and visibility the corporate sponsor can provide 8 x 10’s and posters with their logo for the schools and students. Often the sponsoring corporation will handle all media contact (radio, television, etc.) and press releases through their PR allowing for high market visibility for both the sponsor and school.
Let’s talk about the possibility of having Kevin come to your School District and do a tour with local corporate sponsorship.
